Yeah AMD has the edge on efficiency it's odd it's kind of an "underrated" feature nowadays.

Using less power (thus less W to dissipate that will end up heating your room) for the same computing power? Who wouldn't want that?

(Not to mention the electricity bill..)

So far, my Linux 5800x was my second most stable machine after a Haswell Hackintosh (i5 4590), honestly, I am keen on returning to that, my intel machine has caused me immense trouble tbh.

Which distro?

PopOS was absolutely fantastic, and I can't recall any issues.

Running an i7 12700K on a Noctua air cooler, knocks anything I throw at it out of the ballpark with 12 cores of 20 threads goodness.

Unless you're running an overclocked i9 or something, claims of Intel's heat generation are greatly exaggerated in practice.

Intel also can be handled without AIO, but just run lower than insane turbo clock.
